Touch Me (1971) - Rene Bond [Vinegar Syndrome]

"Touch Me" (1971), produced by Vinegar Syndrome, features a therapist who suggests sexual solutions to his patient's issues. The film follows a group of friends on a sexy retreat that leaves a lasting impression. This film represents an early attempt at hardcore experimentation, incorporating elements of social redeeming value to avoid censorship by framing explicit content within the context of group therapy. The narrative includes a range of sexual activities, such as oral sex and various positions, culminating in an orgy scene. Rene Bond, a prominent adult film actress of the era, portrays a character who initially appears reserved and shocked by the therapist’s theories. She gradually becomes more open, participating in the group dynamic and engaging in explicit scenes. The film features other actors, including Suzanne Fields, Sandy Dempsey, Buck Flower, John Keith, and Rick Lutze. It is noted for its explicit content while attempting to provide a narrative justification through psychotherapy.
